The police arrested a man on Tuesday who hid a quantity of cocaine in a toilet cubicle for the disabled in Areia Preta, Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesman Choi Ian Fai said during a special press conference at the PJ headquarters in Zape yesterday.
According to Choi, the suspect is a 24-year-old from Hong Kong, whose surname was not provided.
